[ Miyuki's POV ]
What Akiyama said to me was true but I got hurt a little so I walked towards the bed and laid down, i didn't notice I slept deeply.
I woke up in the middle of the night. Higashi and the others were sleeping peacefully as they were tired too at the activity we did earlier. I carefully stood up, tiptoed to the door, and quietly opened it, trying not to make a sound.
I got a little bit thirsty so I went to the kitchen and drank a glass of water. The cabin was enveloped in peaceful silence, so I chose to go outside and sat on the small staircase on the cabin's porch for a while. I gazed at the night sky, lost in my thoughts thinking about random stuffs.
I sat there for an hour gazing at the starts that's sparkling and a sounds of crickets in the near distance when i heard the door opened behind me, i saw the boy who was asking for my number so I stood up immediately and tried to walk past him and blocked me again.
"Hi," he smiled creepily at me and grabbed my shoulders. I kicked him and tried to open the door, but he had locked it. When I looked back at him, he was still smiling, so I ran in the opposite direction as he started chasing me.
Panic surged through me as he relentlessly pursued. I darted into the dense forest, seeking refuge behind the towering trees. Frantically, I searched my pockets for my phone, only to realize I'd left it back in the room.
His voice, chillingly distorted, echoed through the woods as he called my name. The rustling of leaves and the snapping of twigs under his feet sent shivers down my spine as he methodically checked each bush.
He saw me and I ran as fast as I could to escape, but we kept going deeper into the forest. I was exhausted and then I tripped on a vine and fell off a small cliff. I got hurt and hit my head on the ground. I felt blood dripping down my face. When I opened my eyes, I saw the guy looking down at me and jumping down towards me.
"You shouldn't have run from me, you're a naughty girl," he said, holding my chin with a scary look in his eyes. With all my strength, I kicked him into a small hole where he fell. I didn't stop running; it felt like I was running forever, and I could feel my blood dripping as I ran.
I was lost on what to do, so I just kept running. I didn't want to hurt anyone, but if he caught me, I'd be in big trouble. My vision started to get fuzzy, and his calls were getting louder. My legs felt like jelly, weaker with each step I took. The next thing I knew, he was right in front of me, pinning me to the ground.
"Don't be afraid," he whispered in my ear, his breath sending shivers down my spine as he sniffed my neck. Before he could do anything else, I grabbed a rock within reach and slammed it into his head.
" Tachibana"
I felt someone was shaking me.
I woke up drenched in sweat, my head pounding. Akiyama was there, but my vision was blurry. Without thinking, I punched him in the face. Suddenly, Saki and Miwa came rushing over while Luna and Scarlet came to me.
[ Kei's POV ]
Tachibana was deep in sleep so I let her rest and I was laying at my bed and scrolling through my phone while the others was still outside.
An hour past by, Tachibana was making a small noise in her sleep so I come up to check her I saw her drenched in sweat and restless.
" Tachibana" I decided to shake her so she could wake up. The door opened and Miwa along with others went back.
" What happened?" Miwa asked me as i shake Tachibana.
" She's having a nightmare" i responded.
After shaking her, she opened her eyes and punched me in the face. I was startled at her sudden punch and caused me to fell on the floor.
Saki and Miwa rushed to help me while Higashi and Scarlet check on her. Saki said she'd get an ice pack downstairs and Miwa helped me got up.
" Miyuki what happened?" Higashi asked with concerned look. Tachibana was looking around the room and at her hands and it started to shake. Miwa and I got up to checked on her too, she came back to her senses and looked at me.
" Oh jeez I'm so sorry Akiyama" she repeatedly bowed her head as an apology, I said it was okay and told her to calm down. Scarlet gave her some water which she drank immediately.
Saki came back with an ice pack and gave it to me, i thanked her and put it on my cheek.
" I just had a nightmare, I'm sorry" She said.
" You're the first one to punch Akiyama in the face" Miwa was trying to hold his laugh.
" Sorry I didn't mean to punch you Akiyama" she looked at the floor, looking regretful.
" She didn't mean to punch him dummy" Higashi laced with annoyance in her voice. Scarlet chuckled at them.
" A...are you okay Akiyama? Is t-the ice pack worked?" Saki's face was full of worry so I told her that I'm okay and the ice pack she gave me is working pretty well.
She was happy at what I said and returned my gaze at Tachibana, her hands calmed down.
"I'm fine, guys. Thank you, and I'm sorry for worrying you," she said, her eyes smiling at us even though she was wearing a mask.
I was a little relieved knowing that she's okay, maybe something bad happened in her dreams that's why she suddenly punched me in the face asI tried to wake her up.
I noticed that Saki was looking at me and I glanced at her face was slowly becoming red. I don't know what was the reason of that but I thanked her again for giving me an ice pack and I then, laid back down on the bed to continue to rest.
" Aki, she's really pretty" Miwa suddenly said to my ear and I hit him with a pillow, he doesn't care about it and you can see that his eye's were sparkling talking about Higashi.
" She called me dumb dumb earlier" he was getting too excited about it and had a wide smile. I laughed at his expression and told him to go away because I was resting.
Later, I got a text from Emi's classmate. She sent me a picture of Emi and his classmate walking together again.
" I saw them after school Senpai. I'm really sorry" she said.Download Novelah App
